I decided to watch this drama after my interest in The Journey of Flower has started to dwindle. Initially unwilling to watch this due to its genre (horror), I gave it a try after my sister wanted to watch it with me to improve her Chinese. First off, this is not much of a horror drama compared to the horror movies out in the market. However, some parts are not suitable to be watched in the dark since it does give you the creeps if you do. So far, I'm only up to Episode 6 and has done a search on this drama.
Synopsis:
Wu Xin is not a normal human being, he never grows old and will never die. He doesn't know where he came from or where he is going. Wandering through boundless ages, he adventures while falling in love at the same time.
To pursue his love, during the reign of Tongzhi, he and his wife lived in seclusion in the mountains. During the Republican era, his wife died of old age and as for him because of his impoverished conditions, he is forced to leave the mountains to make a living as a monk.

I've finished this drama for awhile and I really enjoyed it. I am still upset about the ending but I guess it's best for everyone. I believe Lord Gu is the most tragic character since he is the only one that remembers. To remember is not always a good thing and this is the very case that demonstrates this point. Otherwise, great acting and intriguing storyline.

The Cast:
Elvis Han as Wu Xin
He has the looks and the acting chops. I love it when he smiles at Yue Ya. Since he is immortal, he will never die so I'm not worried about his ending. But definitely looks forward to his future dramas!
Gina Jin as Yue Ya
Also a newbie like Elvis and her acting is on point. I really like her character a lot especially when she dictates over Wu Xin --- she tells him he better grow back after returning as his hand only.
